About the book

About the book

While working in a particularly toxic environment, Karlyn Borysenko came to this liberating realization: she couldn't control other people, but she could control her own goals, perspective, and actions. Now an organizational psychologist, consultant, and executive coach, Borysenko reveals how to bridge the gap between where you are now and what will bring you the most happiness with your career. You must achieve self-mastery by accepting responsibility for your actions, understanding your innate work style, and discerning when and how to push outside your comfort zone. 

Zen Your Work explains how to set personal goals that allow you to focus your energy and create measures of success that aren't affected by the cynicism, competitiveness, or narcissism of others. You'll learn how to apply mindfulness techniques in a highly practical way to achieve professional success, foster game-changing relationships (even with the most negative people in the office), decrease stress, and enjoy a better work/life balance.

What people say

What people say

"Zen Your Work provides tips and relevant exercises to help employees develop the necessary mindset to be happy at work, despite difficult people or circumstances."

—Amy Cooper Hakim, coauthor of Working with Difficult People

​

“Zen Your Work will literally change your brain. It does a wonderful job of explaining how a powerful shift in your thinking can help you to create a work life that is truly rewarding. “

—Friederike Fabritius, neuropsychologist and coauthor of The Leading Brain

​

“I have long believed that left to their own devices, our minds create all of our struggles in the workplace. The amazing flip side to this is that our mindsets and expectations alone allow us to find joy and success at work, and that with the right tools we can even find that success and happiness are our natural states, once the drama is gone. Zen Your Work is a powerful collection of those tools that will teach you how to navigate the most pressing challenges you’ll face in the office with a fresh set of eyes.”

—Cy Wakeman, author of No Ego and Reality-Based Leadership

​

“Karlyn offers a foundational and practical approach to self-awareness in the workplace, so we can stay zen and take ownership of our mental health regardless of our circumstances at work. She shows us how to set the right tone in leadership and communication to create a productive path forward to success.”  

—John Baldino, President of Humareso

​

"Zen Your Work is a fantastic toolkit for anyone who wants to create the most meaningful work experience possible, regardless of their coworkers' moods, organizational change, and other external circumstances. The book will help you understand your strengths and biases so that you can enjoy smoother, less stressful interactions and greater success."

—Alice Boyes, PhD, author of The Healthy Mind Toolkit 

​

"Zen Your Work is a wonderful book for coping with everyone at work, including high-conflict personalities. From how to start your day well, to the stories you tell yourself on-the-job, to building strategic relationships, Dr. Borysenko gives lots of tools and tips for finding and creating your ideal work situation. After reading this book, you’ll know how to thrive (not just survive) regardless of what everyone else does. Surprisingly simple, clear, and friendly."
